Mystic Meg death LATEST: The Sun’s legendary resident astrologer Margaret Lane dies aged 80 after health battle

MYSTIC Meg, The Sun’s legendary resident astrologer, has died at the age of 80, it has been confirmed.

Real name Margaret Lane, Mystic Meg delivered her daily horoscopes to our readers for over 23 years as well as iconic TV appearances such as the National Lottery.

Meg was admitted into St Mary’s hospital in Paddington, London, with the flu in February, but sadly passed away at 3.45am on Thursday morning.

Speaking of her passing, Meg’s agent Dave Shapland said: “Without any question, she was Britain’s most famous astrologer by a million miles. Nobody came close to Meg in that respect. She was followed by millions in this country and also around the world. 

“She even became part of the English language – if a politician, somebody from showbiz or ordinary people in the street are asked a tricky question they will say ‘Who do you think I am, Mystic Meg?’ It shows what an impact she made.”
